Icelanders On Sunday evening we arrived in Bregenz, eight students and three teachers. There we stayed for the week. We lived in the students home, they were all so generous to take care of us the whole time. In these five days we did a lot of things like for example, we went with the students to there school, we went to the Pfänder and saw the amazing view from there, we went to Feldkirch and walked trough the Wild life park, ate schnitzel at the Schattenburg and had a guided tour around the castle there. We went to Lindau in Germany and we went by boat on the way back. On Tuesday the group split in two. One group went to a brewery, a cheese-factory and also hiking in Damüls, while the other group went to Lech, a small skiing village and went skiing in the Alps. We really thought this was a fun trip to Austria, everybody were so nice and friendly, we are very thankful to our hosts to have taken us to there home for few days. We think it is pretty beautiful in Austria, at least what we saw of it and we liked the food. Thanks for a great week:) We were supposed to go home on Friday, 23 April, but because of the Volcano in Iceland we were stuck in Europe for another five days. On Friday we went to Memmingen but our flight company had cancelled all flights. So next day our teachers decided to rent a car and drive us to Berlin. There we stayed in a hostel for four nights and enjoyed our time in Berlin. Greetings from the Icelandic students Dagný, Klara, Guðný, Gunnþórunn, Hrafn, Hafliði, Helena and Leifur :)

feedback GabrieleRev Niebo Sabini ‎1- it was not difficult, if you can speak a good english and if you have a good partner there is not the language barrier 2- the thing that strike me most was that at school you do not use the shoes. 3- i think they are not reserved, they a...re only shy like every persons that do not know someone. 4- i found few similarietes, but i can say that bregenz is cleaner and with more beatiful people than turin 5- I think that the most beatiful sight seen was when we were on the bregenz hill and we saw everything :D 6- i liked so much going out the evening
